finished up installing the battery and megasquirt controller, fired it up! first time since I (my son) wrecked it. almost took it out for a spin, but have some loud valves and the throttle bodies need synchronizing. TPS isn't holding consistently. oh well, off to the races soon...

OK, this was yesterday, but I installed new Schroth harnesses and washed the car thoroughly, inside and out including degreasing the underside. Ready to hit the track next weekend!

what did I do today...... I headed to the powdercoater in Orange CA / one of the hottest places on earth relative to the beach. I actually had to deploy my roof for the first time since WCR,... then......
sat on the side of the road many miles from the carpark in 100 degree heat waiting for the trusty AAA man..... I need the AA man..... now

My 405mile-new fuel pump died and redies when the car heats up

Just in time to have to bail on the wine tour tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Does anyone have experience with this intermittent death to fuel delivery?? Fuses are good, fuel is new. fuel filter is as new as the pump. jumper wire in the relay board is good to go as well as the fuses therein...

Then, after a lovely afternoon of riding for two hours thru Friday afternoon traffic in SoCal, the friggin thing fired up instantly in my carpark in Laguna. very strange.

The good news is that this didn't happen in Temecula tomorrow with my lovely wife roasting in the passenger seat while sitting in front of a laDeda wine vineyard while within visual and aural proximity to the soft tinkling of fine china, crystal stemware, and canapés being served on sterling silver trays.

Maybe that is not what happens at a typical Temecula winery but the potential for upset is too great until I sort this mystery out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)



Yes, Vapor Lock. You can move the fuel pump to the front but a much easier solution is just move the pump to the fire wall. Moved mine over twenty years ago and I have not had problems since.

Looking for advice on recovering these. I will have my kit from 914rubber soon and need to prep them. There is some foam damage so I need advice on repair OR a beeter set of core seats to purchase for recovering.

They look like tangerine racing flares.

Father's Day drive over Red Mountain Pass in western Colorado after reinstalling interior door panels that morning. A little dash reinstall work and the panels-off bare metal redo is buttoned up.

I walked out to the garage to install the used side marker lens I got in the mail today. I quickly realized the seller sent me the wrong side. I promptly turned around, went back in, and laid down on the couch.

Hey Mike!

I've been considering picking up one of the GT front bumpers, lower valance and inner shroud. What did they charge to ship the bumper? Does it come with brackets?

$46 and it does have brackets but not drilled for mounting bolts. I have the valence too and they are a pretty good match.
